Answers :

Arrghhhhhh! Dont! unless you want to throw this laptop in the bin after the experience do not attempt to open it. Getting it back together is a nightmare. The keyboard fitting is something else, things drop out and drop off all over the place. Take it to a dealers and let then send it in for a repair. At least it will be in a complete piece when its returned to you

If you are having this kind of a problem with Gateway support, then you need to get out off the call center loop and get directly to the problem. This is what worked for me when Gateway did the same thing to my M675: (I ended up with a new replaceme ...

I have a battery charging problem on my Gateway Solo1450 laptop. The battery is new and gave me 30 minutes of battery only run time after taht it would not charge. I set the commands (Enabled) in the BIOS but it did no good. Any suggestions? Thank you for your help Peter

Hi, if the battery is new then you need to start looking at things like the charger. If the old battery was used for a long time, and as they have only a few months life span then this puts extra work on the charger due to the fact that when the batt ...

Bought new battery for dv9000t but monitor says "Charging, 0% available" And indeed after several hours still no charge. There's probably a trapdoor disconnect as part of the complex electronics inside a Lion battery to prevent charging when cells are out of acceptable parameters. I would not be surprised if there isn't a way to perform a reset from the 6 external pins. Agreed Lion charging is not for the begining level of understanding. Any guru out there on this matter? [email protected]

Hi,The first step you need to do is to power cycle. I.E unplug the adapter, unplug the battery, unplug any devices attached, and cards attached. Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds.(wont show up doing anything).Than ...

I have got acer aspire 5520 the problam is when i charge my laptop it says the battery is full so i unplug charger then it stays on 99 percent then after about 20 mins it will go off and when i switch back on it says 0 percent 3hr 40 mins left do i need a driver for my battery

It sounds like your laptop's battery has a reduced charge cycle. I recomend charging it to full then letting it die 3 -5 times. (to completely die means that it wont turn on at all. usually this takes a couple of times turning on to be sure.) this sh ...

I have a Gateway MX6930. I purchased a new battery because the old one's life had shortened so much. The new one worked fine for a few days but now doesn't work at all. The battery charge light illuminates on the laptop and not on the toolbar, but doesn't charge the battery. The computer wont start up or flash red when you push the power button while unplugged. I put in the old battery and it still works fine. Any ideas? Defective battery?

Hi, Yes you are right, a defective battery.It's always recommended that you use manufacturers endorsed hardware because of this fact!!Return the battery and get a new one. when you get the new battery don't charge it, just use it un ...

Sorry to say it, but the charging port in your laptop may be loose. The "loose" feeling that is often described is because one solder joint comes loose, so by moving it around it will reconnect. Unfortunately, doing this also causes the other joints ...
